She lived in China, the Philippines, Hawaii, and on numerous army posts around the United States. In 1939, Louise graduated from Duke University. The following year, she married Richard Holder. Most of their forty-year marriage was spent in Memphis, Tennessee.
Both before and after Richard’s passing in 1980, Louise sought opportunities to serve in her church, her four children’s public schools, “Each One Teach One,” reading for the blind, and other “giving” pursuits. Throughout the last thirty years of her life, she combined her growing spiritual awareness with her love of wordplay, producing more than seven hundred short poems, as well as prose in the form of letters to her children. Apprentice Angels is the first installment of these writings to be published.view less
